ShrewmintonWhen i was a lad i used to play badminton a lot with mates in the garden.
When we lost all our shuttlecocks we tried out various other things.
As it happened, there were a number of dead shrews on the patio. The cat used to like to kill them and then leave them there.
We tried using the deceased rodents as shuttlecocks, and were pleasantly surprised by the results.
Hence, we pioneered the game of Shrewminton, which is, in my experience, a better game, due to the paranoia element of the 'bodyline head shot'.

My sister has a RatIts called Hermionie (my mum hates it)
It ate my sisters dresssing gown one night and its small for a rat. So My sister went to a pet shop to get one of those chew bloke things for her to keep her teeth down, the assistant behind the counter said it would last at least 3 weeks, but they can last for months.
At about 11pm she atctched it with wire in the cage. At 1am she was awoken buy Hermionie smacking the wire held in her mouth against the wires of the cage making one hel of a racket. It had eaten it in 2 hours.
Oh and when we were little sitting by a pond outside of a pub we were eating at, my sister spat mucus on the back of a duck, which didnt slide off...gross

Had a rat as well,two in fact.
They were loose in the lounge but the mrs let the cat in. Then there was one.
The thoughtful cat at least had the decency to leave the rat's perfectly preserved pelt, complete with back legs and tail on the doorstep as a pressie.
As the ex-rat had been the favourite of the kids my ever-sensitive older brother suggested the surviving rat wear his cage-mate's coat like a jumpsuit.
similarI had 2 rats loose in the lounge, forgot they were in there let the ferrets in (4 at the time)
1) try and catch rats
2) get bitten by highly scared rat
3) drop rat they deserve what's coming to them for biting.
4) 2 dead rats!
Total time: about 4mins of mayhem
